Ikey's soccer season

And by the end of the season...he kicked the ball.

Ikey's gold soccer team was named "The Freight Trains" at his suggestion. He thought he was playing rugby and was in the middle of the scrum all the time. He only noticed there was a ball in the game during the last two games. Watch for his red shin guards in this video. He crashes into someone (foul?) then kicks the ball and shows a little hustle.

This will remind you that he's still just a little guy...the one holding his ear and sucking on his fingers in the huddle.

I think Grandpa Joe was itching to coach, although he said more than once that coaching 3- and 4-year-olds would drive him crazy. Watching them almost did.

 Jovie loved wrestling with the multitude of fans that came to cheer for The Freight Trains: Grandma Pat and Grandpa Joe in this picture.

 Grandma Rainey came to almost every game and Grandpa and Grandma Faucheux came to a couple. It was hot every time. Ikey was pretty good to share his treats with Jovie. 

These two characters are crazy. Last night, Ikey didn't like what I served for dinner. He pointed at his plate and said, "Those vittles are NOT tasty."
